Something nice that proves there is still humanity left……

When the care home manager heard that there would be only a few people to attend Albert’s funeral, he took it upon himself, to go above and beyond and try to make a difference. He contacted local ex-servicemens associations and sent out an email in hope he might get a few extra people to attend…. well he could not believe the response he got, with people from as far afield as Australia, India and Dubai replying to him. More and more responded, and soon an entire town, was ready to come out and line the streets, pausing to show their respect to a man who had served his country, and it shows you there is some decency left in society today.
